One of central London’s most tightly held and celebrity-studded addresses has a rare listing on the market, with a Grade II listed Georgian townhouse on Connaught Square offered for £6.5 million (around $12.7 million AUD).
Connaught Square, an elegant garden square bordering Hyde Park and Marble Arch, has long attracted high-profile residents, including former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair and his wife Cherie, television host Claudia Winkleman, Grammy-winning producer William Orbit, and a steady mix of artists, diplomats and international power players.
When the Blairs chose the square as their primary London residence after leaving Downing Street, its status as one of the capital’s most discreet luxury enclaves was firmly cemented.
Now for sale through Marsh & Parsons, the six-bedroom Georgian townhouse spans five levels and offers approximately 3,390 square feet of living space, complete with a private courtyard garden, terrace and balcony overlooking the square’s prestigious communal gardens.
Dating back to the late 1820s, the home forms part of the historic Bishop of London’s Estate and remains one of the area’s increasingly rare single-family residences.
The property has been comprehensively refurbished by its current owners, retaining original Georgian features such as sash windows, cornicing and fireplaces, while layering in contemporary finishes and modern luxuries.
Formal entertaining spaces sit alongside a bespoke kitchen and multiple flexible living areas, including a gym, study and garden-access bedrooms that could also function as staff accommodation.
Upstairs, the principal suite occupies an entire floor, while the upper level provides three further double bedrooms.
Throughout the home, high ceilings and period proportions reflect the grandeur that once made Connaught Square a rival to Belgravia for London’s elite.
Beyond its celebrity pedigree, the address places residents just minutes from Hyde Park, Oxford Street, Mayfair and Marylebone, while retaining the village-like feel of Connaught Village, known for its independent boutiques, galleries and cafés.
Access to private communal gardens, a rarity even by London standards, adds to the appeal.
As Marsh & Parsons director Sam Preece notes, Georgian townhouses on Connaught Square “very rarely become available on the open market”, making the listing a notable moment for buyers seeking both architectural pedigree and A-list cachet.
The Connaught Square townhouse is offered for sale at £6.5 million (approximately $12.7 million AUD).
